When barber Kellen Mataafa felt ready to set out on his own, he reached out to Austin Shirey, the owner<br />
of Greasy Hands Barbershop, to partner with in his new venture. To help bring their vision to life, Kellen<br />
and Austin entrusted Studio Carnley to help develop their brand. Their color palette of dark greens, off<br />
whites and darker tans is somewhere between eco and minimalist. “We wanted to create an aesthetically<br />
neutral barbershop. Something that bridges the gap between women’s salons and traditional men’s<br />
barbershops. Simple yet elegant. We knew the space needed to be calm, gentle and flooded with natural<br />
light. The mirrors, natural wood accents and the skylight really helped add to that aspect,” explains<br />
Kellen. Four classic Takara 225 barber chairs in Oatmeal welcome clients, adding a traditional yet timeless<br />
touch. “Birmingham is an up and coming place,” observes Kellen, “filled with amazing restaurants and<br />
beautiful bars and coffee shops. I’d say we fit right in with what’s happening downtown; taking old<br />
historic buildings/spaces and making them into something new and modern.”<br />
